Letters Patent No. 92,711, dated July 20, 1869.

RANGE.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of thesame.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, G. K. EDWARDS, of thecity and county of New York, in the State of NewYork, have invented anew and improved Cooking and Heatingltange; and I do hel'ebydcclare thatthe following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, whichwill enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same,reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of thisspecification.

This invention relates to improvements in ranges, having-for its objectto provide certain improvements in the arrangement of the fire-potcalculated to concentrate the heat either under the kettle-holes, orunder the ovens, when required, or to equalize it between the two.

Also, to provide, in connection with the improved cooking1'ange,heating-chambers, or radiators for heating air and giving it off toconducting-pipes, to be conveyed to rooms for heating.

Figure 1 represents a sectional elevation taken on the line a: :v offig. 2;

Figure 2 represents a vertical section taken on the line y y of fig. 1;and

Figure 3 represents a plan view pa-rtly broken. Similar letters ofreference indicate corresponding parts. i

The essential, feature of my invention consists in the movablearrangement of the fire-pot A, and the dampers B 0, connected therewith.I propose to arrange the said fire-pot A, in a sliding way D, either onwheels or not, so that it can be drawn out under the kettle-holes E, orshoved back under the elevated ovens F and radiators G H, or adjustedabout equally between the two when required, as shown in fig. 2, wherebythe fire may beconcentrated upon either place, as it is often requiredto be, and which is now done to some extent by the aid of dampers forchanging the direction of the product of combustion.

B and 0. represent dampers for closing the space each side of thefire-box. These dampers are to be changed whenever the fire-pot ischanged.

When it stands in the centre, as in fig. 2, these dampers are to beseparated, as shown; but when it is at the front, the damper O is shovedback to B, and when the fire-pot is in the rearmost part, 0 occupies thepresent position, and B is moved up to it.

- Below and above the ovens are radiators G H, and

air-heating chambers I K, by which the heat is utilized for heating air,which may be admitted to the heatingchambers in any suitable way, andconveyed away through the pipes L.

M represents the smoke-pipe.

The front, N, is supported on hinges for convenience of access to theinterior spaces.

The whole device is to be set into the brick work 0, in the usual way.

Having thus described my invention,

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Let ters Patent, is-- 1.The arrangement of the fire-potA, for adjustment relatively to the frontand rear of the range, and the adjustable dampers B C, all substantiallyas specified.

2. The arrangement, with the cooking-range herein described, of theradiators G H and heating-chambers I K, all substantially as specified.

The above specification of my invention signed by me, this 26th day ofMay, 1869.
